SE-225-XT Black CPU Cooler 5 Heatpipes CPU Air Cooler 2x120mm Push-Pull PWM Fans CPU Fan for Intel/AMD, LGA 1700 Compatible

I picked this cooler up as an upgrade from the stock fan that comes with most AMD CPUs. This cooler might be a bit overkill for my Ryzen 5 5500, but I do not have any complaints on that considering it’s extremely affordable and often sells for under $40. This cooler managed to keep my temps below 55 degrees Celsius with both a full thread cinebench test, and Steel Nomad on 3D mark running at the same time. 100% usage at max speed for 10min straight and it never even touched 56 degrees Celsius. To me that is insane! Granted my TDP is only 65w, but 55 degrees compared to 80 degrees is absolutely huge! It looks nice, it’s quiet, and it’s extremely effective for my little CPU. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone that’s looking for a budget cooler with some serious cooling power.

Installed on AM4 Ryzen 7 5700x using MX6 paste, however, I changed fans out with two Silent Wings 4 120mm PWM High Speed 2500 RPM Premium, because I did read about possible supplied fan noise at higher RPM. I am not playing the latest game titles and have not calibrated the system yet, but by default CPU temps are in the 28C up to 52C on game usage. Perhaps I can get better temps calibrating fan operation. Installation on AM4 board was easy and straight forward. My mother board is a full ATX ASUS ROG Strix B550-F Gaming AMD AM4 Zen 3 and all memory slots filled, which lead me to adjust the intake fan side a little higher to accommodate the G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series DDR4 in the A1 slot. Do not think this hindered cooling capability as the adjustment was minor. Be cognizant of size, I did check demission's of the cooler but have full ATX mid towers, so no problem with height on my system. Overall I recommend this product, although you may find several coolers that work as well at the $45. However, if you can snag it at $36 or below, its a stellar choice. Noting that I never tried the supplied fans that this came with. If you try them and they work well for you, then great deal. My primary objective was to cool the CPU and stay quiet as much a possible.

Chose this cooler since I liked how it looked compared to other coolers and wasn't too big to fit in my case with my other components especially ram(teamgroup t-force delta) and was planning to pair it with a ryzen 5 7600x. It has performed really well my CPU never goes past 80c under full load, it can get a bit loud but for gaming is mostly super silent. With the push pull configuration it provides amazing airflow to cool my cpu. Would highly recommend it.

Replaced a Ryzen 3 3600 stock cooler that was being used on a Ryzen 7 5700x . Pros Price was great Took my temps from 80c to 55c under load. Fans seem solid Came with a y splitter Cons Its pretty big. Make sure you can clear memory Can clips are a little flimsy imo compared to the actual fans. Air gaps on the heat sink. Needs some filler to prevent un even cooling. The shipping of my delivery could have been handled better. The box was banged up bad corners were smashed down and had tears on the box. Thankfully nothing was broken

Had a low-profile cooler from another brand, witch heated up too fast under stress testing my i514600KS (not overclocked) I love my case and do not want to get a new one, so I took a chance on this cooler, I measured my space at 5.9 inched max height, and this beauty just fit! Dual 120 mm fans vs one on my old cooler, also, this has heat-pipes going up BOTH sides, not just one. Perfect! Stress testing can hold max power for a LONG time. Gaming is less stressful than the stress test, so this is perfect for me, and at only $33 and came with thermal paste and a great, easy to assemble mounting system. ID Cooling is a WINNER! The look is pure quality too. Very happy.

I highly recommend this CPU cooler and Heatsink, it has kept my temperatures below 50 degrees Celsius at idle and improved performance for my pc build. The metal clips were difficult to determine which way they clipped on, but other than that hiccup installation was straightforward. Installed on an AM4 Socket.

This is one of the best cheap coolers i had . In a few months i tried quite a few air coolers and one of them is a Noctua NH-U12A chromax.Black . This thing cools my 14700K better than Noctua , for real . I could not believe that my temps on idle are 30C with this cooler , like 5/10 Celsius lover than Noctua . The only thing i don't like about this cooler is that you can only mount it 1 way . I have Evga z690 and i have to mount this cooler facing upward . Visually it is not great looking that way but temps are good so i find that more important . Other than that all is good . I mean , $35 is nothing considering how good cooling you get for that . Noctua cost literally $100 more and it doesn`t cool the cpu as good . I tried 5 coolers and this is by far the best for my setup . I returned 2 and i sold 2 , i kept this one . Like i said , visually it is not pretty as DeepCool or Noctua , but cools as same as big names companies .
